Poetic Petals, Harvest Hues, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you using the "Harvest Hues" ephemera. I made two using the same design. My husband has twin sisters and these are for their birthday. They are identical twins and when we were dating I had trouble telling them apart. They are 17 years older than he is and one of the twins had identical twins. So now I had 4 people to figure out who is who. Then I meet his twin cousins, his aunt (his mother's sister) had twins. Now there's 6 people I to figure out and I couldn't keep straight who is who. As the years passed I can tell his sisters and nieces apart but I still have problems with the cousins!  And humorously I sort of got him back, I have triplets on my side! LOL Now that you know a bit of backstory on my life, let's move on to how today's card was made. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

Using the "Perennial Postage" dies I cut the second largest one for the layer. Before taping the layer down I lightly scrubbed on some Crushed Curry ink around the outer edge of the card base and then scrubbed the center of the die cut piece with more ink. 

I laid the stickers in place so I could see where to stamp the words. The words are from the "Poetic Petals" bundle and were stamped using Basic Black ink. I taped the layer to the card base.

I set the stickers in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I think the sticker choices formed a nice birthday card for my sister-in-laws.  They don't read my blog so I can tell you what their presents are. A friend of mine makes the most beautiful quilts and we bought two from her.  Actually we bought three, I had to have one too! I'm so spoiled. LOL

Thank you so very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Christmas Crew, Seasonal Cheer, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Real Red card stock. On top of that is a 3-3/8" x 4-5/8" piece of Basic White that was splattered with my dark Real Red Blends pen. I keep my blends pens that I've had to replace because of the tips. For the splatter I used the brush side of the pen and then tapped it against my scissors (or a hard surface, like a pen or pencil - just don't use another Blends pen) and just tap all around the card until you get the coverage you want. I taped the speckled piece to the Real Red piece and then that was taped to the front of the card. I centered it as much as I could by eyeing it.  

For the smaller layer I had a piece of Basic White card stock that I had textured using the candy cane embossing folder from the "Seasonal Cheer" mini embossing folders.  I had this sitting on my worktable from a previous project so I thought I'd work it into this card. My piece measured 2-1/2" x 3-3/4". I cut a piece of Real Red card stock to measure 2-5/8" x 3-7/8" and I taped the two pieces together. The piece was then taped to the front of the card about 3/4" from the fold and the top of the card. 

The reindeer is from the "Christmas Crew" bundle and was stamped using Basic Black ink. Then it was cut out using the matching die. I colored it using my light Pecan Pie Blends pen for the body. The feet were colored in using an Early Espresso marker. I kept my markers because they were in such good condition and I thought I would need some colors, like Early Espresso and Garden Green for starters.  

The words were stamped next. They are from the same "Christmas Crew" bundle and stamped using Basic Black ink.  

I stamped a Santa hat and two candy canes using Basic Black ink and then I colored them using my dark Real Red Blends pen. 

I glued the hat to the top of the reindeers head.

Using the 7th die in the "Everyday Arches" set I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "A Stitched Season" 12" x 12" package. I taped the reindeer to it. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card. It's about 1/2" from the bottom edge and about 5/8" from the right edge. I didn't press down on the piece at the upper left side because I needed to know if I could get the ends of the candy canes under it. 

I glued the candy canes in place and then I tied a piece of baker's twine that was doubled. I glued it to the front of the card.

Three peppermint candies were added to the front and the card was done.

This was such a fun card to make. I enjoyed every moment making it. I love playing with red and white and this card was right up my alley.  The reindeer was fun to color and I can't wait to play with the other characters in that bundle.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

A Little Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have one of the quickest Christmas cards I've ever made. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Real Red card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was taped to the inside of the card.

I cut the image from a full sheet of fun images from the "A Little Christmas" 12" x 12" package.  I taped it to the front of the card and the card was done.

Can you believe that? It's such a sweet image. I was going to add some words to the front but it took away from the image so I just left it blank. I may stamp something on the inside but for now I'm just letting the image tell the story.

This was the quickest Christmas card I've ever made! I think it took longer to cut the card stock and DSP than it did to make the card.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Timeless Christmas, Christmas Mice, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you using one of my favorite layouts. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Timeless Christmas" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card base.

On top of that is a 3-1/2" x 4-5/8" piece of Basic White card stock. I did not tape it to the front of the card. I am using it to build the rest of the card on top of.

I cut a piece of Real Red card stock that measures 3" x 4-1/8" and another piece of DSP that measures 2-7/8" x 4". I added a little tape in the area a bit above center, in the area where I'm going to be punching. I used a 1-1/4" circle punch to punch both layers out. I made sure that both pieces were lined up equally on all sides before I punched. 

Then I took the DSP piece and put a piece of copier paper behind it and then cut a 1-3/8" circle ring. This will allow the opening to show the Real Red card stock as a nice frame. I taped the two pieces together.

The mouse in the image was left over from the card I made the other day. I saw the mouse on there and just couldn't toss the piece in recycling.  

I added dimensionals around the circle of the card stock opening and then set it on top of the mouse and got it to where I got the part of the image in it that I wanted.

Then I added dimensionals to the back of the layer and tape to the back of the mouse piece. This was then set on top of the Basic White piece. And finally that was set on top of the card base.

The words are from the "Christmas Mice" bundle and were stamped using Real Red ink on Basic White card stock that measures 3/4" x 2-1/2". Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place sort of centering it between the circle and bottom edge of the circle layered piece. 

I bought those adorable holly and berries embellishments and I added a set to the upper right area of the circle layered piece and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I just can't get enough of card using this layout. I love it because it allows me to use smaller images and make them the focal point. 

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Festive Cheer, Yuletide Carols, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a very fun Christmas card to share with you. I found this card on Pinterest and you can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Early Espresso card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla card stock and taped it to the inside.

The music sheet Designer Series Paper (DPS) is from the "Yuletide Carols" 12" x 12" package. After cutting it from a sheet full of other images, it measured 4" x 5-1-4". No trimming on that, it was the exact size needed for the front of the card. It was taped in place creating equal spacing all around.

The Santa is from the same sheet. It measured 2-3/4" x 5-1/4" after cutting it from the sheet. Again, no trimming. Ya gotta love that!  This will be taped to a 3" x 5-1/2" piece of Early Espresso card stock. But before taping I cut the circle for the back layer of the word piece. The circle measures 1-7/8".  You can use a punch or a die if you have either. I still had the circles and scalloped die set and will probably keep it till I wear it out (is that possible?).  Once I got the circle cut out I taped the DSP to the layer. Then that was taped to the front of the card centering it as much as possible by eyeing it.

The words are from the "Festive Cheer" bundle and were stamped using Early Espresso ink and cut out using the 4th circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set. I taped the two circles together. I added Dimensionals to the back and set the piece in place on the front of the card. I moved the circle down a bit more than on the original card. I didn't want Santa to be covered.

A tiny little bow was cut from the "Festive Cheer" bundle using Early Espresso card stock. It's up at the top center. It's so tiny, it's almost invisible. But it's SO cute.

This was such a fun card to make because the DSP did most of the work. I bought this paper and I didn't realize how fun all of the sheets are. I loved the idea of having lots of music sheets to make cards with but this sheet of multiple images is such a bonus!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Timeless Christmas, Home for Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. I found the card on Pinterest but I changed it a bit. You can see the original card by clicking here. There were no instructions on how the card was made so I just went with what looked good, so please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Barely Blush card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and I taped it to the inside of the card.

The holly strip is from the "Timeless Christmas" 12" x 12" package. It's cut at 1-1/4" x 5-1/2".  The Real Red layer behind it was cut at 1-1/2" x 5-1/2". I taped the two layers together and then taped it to the front of the card about 1/4" from the fold.

The candy cane piece was cut at 4-7/8" x 2-1/2" and was textured using the "Seasonal Cheer" embossing folder set. There's three smaller embossing folders in that set, the candy canes, bats, and leaves. I didn't use the bats much in October but I am going to save it and use it next year, even if it might be retired. I glued that piece to a 5-1/8" x 2-3/4" piece of Real Red card stock. I taped that to the front of the card about 1/4" on both sides and the bottom.

The ovals are from the "Framed Violets" bundle.  I cut the scalloped one using Real Red card stock. And the other oval was cut from Basic White card stock. The words are from the "Home For Christmas" bundle and were stamped using Real Red ink. 

The candies were stamped next, they are from the same "Home for Christmas" bundle using Real Red ink on Basic White card stock. I stamped and cut three of them. 

The "wrappers" were die cut using Barely Blush card stock. I glued the candies to the "wrappers". On the center of each candy I added a little peppermint candy embellishment. Dimensionals were added to the back and they were set in place on the upper part of the oval. 

I tied a white bow and glued it to the upper right side next to the candy. And the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I REALLY like the layout. There's lots of fun Christmas images that will work with this layout. You may be seeing it again in the near future.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Christmas Mice, A Little Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. I just love these little mice and I had purchased the Designer Series Paper (DPS).  You can see the original card by clicking here.  Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock that I textured using the "Swirls of Magic" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card base.

Next I cut a strip of DSP from the "A Little Christmas" 12" x 12" package. The strip measures 4-1/4" x 2-1/4". I glued it to the left side of the card about 5/8" from the left edge.

I just had to purchase that DPS because the mice were just too darn cute!  The sheet of DSP that the mice came from was a bit busy but making them a focal point made the sheet much more fun to use. I thought these mice were perfect from that sheet. I cut the two mice using the 4th circle die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. 

The words are from the "Christmas Mice" bundle. I stamped them on a 3/4" x 3" piece of Basic White card stock. I stamped them using Real Red ink. I have a love/hate relationship with cutting my word pieces before stamping on them. I often struggle to get them straight where as if I had stamped them crooked on a piece of card stock, I could cut them straight on my paper cutter. But cutting smaller strips can be a challenge too. This time I cut the card stock and then stamped on it. I did manage to get it pretty straight. I glued it to the front of the card about 3/8" from the left edge and 1-1/8" up from the bottom edge.

I glued the top mouse in place first and before I glued the bottom one down I decided to pop it up with dimensionals. 

I added some crystal rhinestones and the card was done.

This was a very fun, quick and easy card to make. Those little mice are just too cute.

A Little Christmas, Home for Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a super quick and easy Christmas card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it with a snowflake embossing folder. I don't have a current snowflake embossing folder, mostly because it came in a bundle and it was just too expensive. Even my group of stamping friends didn't have it or I would have embossed a few sheets to have on hand. So I used a folder I had on hand, it's a very old (retired) Stampin' Up! folder. I glued it to the front of the card.

The image is from the "A Little Christmas" 12" x 12" package. There's two sheets in the package that are full of images. I can't wait to play with some more of them in the near future. I cut this image out of the sheet and taped a piece of Pool Party layer to the back. My printed image measured 2-3/8" x 2-3/4"  and my Pool Party piece was cut at 2-5/8" x 3".  Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.

The words are from the "Home For Christmas" bundle. I stamped them on a piece of Basic White card stock and I tried to cut them out with my paper cutter. It's SO hard to cut tiny strips that have words on them and get them straight. I ended up trimming it a bit with my scissors. I also trimmed the piece of Pool Party for the layer. It's not straight, which bothers me but I try to remind myself that it is after all a handmade card. And it's not that crooked! But it still bothers me!  LOL. Dimensionals were added to the back.

I set the top piece in place about 5/8" from the top and both sides.

The words were added to the bottom area about 7/8" from the bottom edge and the two sides.

I had some snowflakes that I glued on the printed image and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I really like the image, there's something about the house in the snow.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Season of Celebration, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Hydrangea Hue card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and tape it to the inside.

On the front I cut a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock. Using a blending brush and Hydrangea Hue ink, I scrubbed it on the center and worked my way outward.  I taped this piece to the front of the card.

These cute stickers are from the "Season of Celebration" ephemera package. I bought this package because of this snowman. I am such a snowman person. Hubby will be getting my snowman parts down from the loft in the garage and when we have our first sticky snow, I will be going out to make a snowman. It's been a few years since I've made one, mostly due to a bad hip but with a total hip replacement, I'm ready to play in the snow again. And yes, I will eat snow too! I refuse to grow up! LOL Back to the card. I punched out the package, snowman, greenery, snowflake and words.

I stuck the package in place first. I removed the backing on the snowman and added dimensionals. I added baby powder to the sticky parts that are exposed. Then I removed the backing on the dimensionals and set the snowman in place on the front of the card.

Next I added the greenery piece. And then the snowflake, I added a dimensional and added the baby powder as I did for the snowman. 

The word part was a bit tricky. I cut a dimensional and added it to the area under the "Christmas, us to the "m".  Then I added the baby powder but I didn't want to get any baby powder on the part that will be affixed to the snowman body.  Once I was done with that, I removed the backing from the dimensionals and set the piece in place on the front and the card was done.

This was such a fun card to make. I love how cute this snowman is and I'm pleased with the way the card turned out. It was super simple and quick too.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Christmas Mice, Radiant Sunflowers, Phrases & Frames, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you. I wanted to use the mouse from the "Christmas Mice" bundle and make a Christmas card for a change but...... I saw this card on Pinterest and the Christmas card is going to have to wait! LOL. This card was just too sweet to not make. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Pecan Pie card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White was taped to the inside.

On the front I taped a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sunflower Fields" 12" x 12" package.

I cut a strip of Pecan Pie card stock that measures 5-1/4" x 7/8". I stamped the birthday greetings from the "Phrases & Frames" bundle. I stamped them using Basic Black ink. The original card used white embossing powder. I am lazy and I need to go get the Versa Mark and powder. Then I need to go to another area to eat it. So I don't heat emboss much, mostly out of laziness!  

The mouse was stamped next. It's from the "Christmas Mice" bundle. I stamped it on a piece of Basic White card stock using Basic Black ink. I colored it using Blends Pens. I colored the cheek and the inside of the ear using the dark Petal Pink pen. Then I colored the entire mouse using the Ivory pen. Next I used the light Pecan Pie pen to color the fur and around the ear but not the belly or inside the ear. Then I came in with the dark Pecan Pie pen to color the darker areas. I took a white marker and added the dots. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.

Next I did my die cutting. I cut the arch using the 7th arch in the "Everyday Arches" set on Basic White card stock. I used Granny Apple Green ink on the bottom part of the piece and Hydrangea Hue ink on the sky. 

The flower stem and flower is from the "Radiant Sunflower" bundle. I cut the stem using Mossy Meadow card stock and the flower was cut from Crushed Curry card stock. The center was cut from a scrap piece of Early Espresso card stock. I glued the center to the flower. 

The mouse was set in place on the arched piece. The stem was glued in place and then the flower was glued down. It's on half of the arched piece, so I had to be mindful of where the glue needed to go.

I taped the word piece was taped down about 3/4" from the bottom edge of the card. Then the arched piece was set in place about 3/4" from the right edge and 1/2" from the bottom edge.

The arched piece was set in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. 

Using my dark Pecan Pie Blends pen I colored in some white dots from "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" package. I have a lot of white dots left and much to my surprise, they took the color nicely! Once the dots were added the card was done.

Do you think that if I changed out the flower for a present that this could pass for a masculine card?

This was a very fun card to make, even though it wasn't a Christmas card that I had intended to make. I just love this little mouse. I can't wait to play with it again.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Oh My Fright, Frightfully Fun, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I just had to make one more Halloween card before the end of the month. I found it on the internet and you can see it by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Black card stock was cut for the largest layer. On top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I did a pretty good job this month using a lot of that DSP. I haven't used it up but I did use quite a bit of it. I taped the DSP to the Basic Black layer and that as then taped to the front of the card.

The original card looked like it used the retired "Deckled Circles" dies. I no longer have mine (or I just can't find it in my mess! LOL). I used the dies from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I used the second and third dies in that set to make this card.

The largest is Basic Black and the next size smaller is Basic White. On the Basic White circle I stamped the words from the "Oh My Fright" bundle using Basic Black ink. I had accidentally smudged the word piece, the ink was not quite dry when I turned it over to add the tape. I taped it to the Basic Black piece and then lightly sponged on some Basic Black ink to camouflage the smudges.  Good job, huh? I no longer see them! I taped the layered circles to the front of the card about 1-1/8" from the top edge and 7/8 from both sides.

I fussy cut the ghosts from another sheet of DSP in the same package. Dimensionals were added to the back of them and they were set in place on the front of the card.

I added a few little ghosts from the "Bats, Ghosts and Dots" embellishment package and the card was done.

This was a fun card. It was very quick (even with the fussy cutting) and it was super easy to make too. Last Halloween card for they year!  I promise!

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Sweet Words, Scalloped Blooms, Glow of Harvest, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fall birthday card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Early Espresso card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut two pieces of Basic Beige card stock that measure 4" x 5-1/4" each. I taped one to the inside and the other I textured using the "Softly Woven" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.

Next I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Glow of Harvest" 12" x 12" package. It measures 2-1/2" x 4".  I taped it to a 2-3/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Early Espresso card stock. I added Dimensionals to the back and I set this piece aside.

The words were stamped next. They are from the "Scalloped Blooms" bundle and were stamped using Early Espresso ink on Basic Beige card stock. I cut them out using a die from the "Sweet Words" bundle.

I cut an Early Espresso layer from the same "Sweet Words" bundle. I taped the two layers together. I set this aside. 

I do not remember what set the leaf was die cut from. I had made it a while ago and it was setting on my worktable. If you know what set it's from, please leave a message in the comment and I'll edit my post to include it. I had cut it from a scrap piece of Basic Beige and sponged on some Daffodil Delight. Then I sponged the edges using Early Espresso ink. And for the middle, I tapped on some Pumpkin Pie ink. It was fun to make the leaf but I don't remember what I was going to use it for. Anyway, I glued the leaf in place under the words. The space below it was open and it needed something. 

I cut a 4" x 3/4" piece of Early Espresso card stock and taped it to the front of the card about 1-1/2" from the top edge of the card base.

The DSP layer was added next, it's about 1/2" from the fold and right side.

Dimensionals were added to the word piece where it would touch the textured piece and tape to the part that touches the DSP. Once that was in place, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I like the layout and it was quick and easy to make.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Birthday card,

Copper and Apatite Earrings

As many of you know, I just don't just make cards with my time. I do other crafts such as knitting, crocheting, playing with polymer clay and jewelry making. Today I made a pair of earrings using copper and faceted apatite stones. I thought I'd share it with you today. I also made several other pair using copper beads in place of the apatite stones. I made my own headpins. It's the balled pin at the end of the earrings. I torched them earlier this year. I will be making more before the weather gets to cold to be out in the garage. It's something that is probably okay to make one or two in the house but it's best to torch copper outside or in a very ventilated area. I don't have the ventilation system that is needed to do that many in the house. So I set up camp in the garage and torch away. 

These are very lightweight and easy to wear. I file the ends of the ear wires so they glide in the ear easily. I love the look of the apatite with the copper.

I had a lot of fun making these and will be making more using other semi-precious gem stones and more copper beaded ones.  I have other jewelry items I've made and I'll post some in a few days. 

You can see some of the other things I have made by clicking here.  The web store is not working right now and I usually shut it down during craft fair season because most of the items go to the craft fairs. 

Thanks for looking,
Wanda

Lily of the Valley, Valley in Bloom, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another card using the "Lily of the Valley" bundle again. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Garden Green card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut two pieces of Basic White card stock that measure 4" x 5-1/4". I taped one to the inside and the other I worked on.

I cut three pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Valley in Bloom" 12" x 12" package. These pieces measure 5" x 1-5/8" each. I taped them to the Basic White piece.

I cut one leaf from the "Lily of the Valley" bundle using Granny Apple Green card stock and one set of flowers using Basic Beige card stock. I did trim the end of the flower piece a bit so it wouldn't stick out from under the leaf. 

The leaf and the flower piece were taped to the front of the card.

I taped the piece on the front of the card base.

The words are from the same bundle and were stamped using Garden Green ink on Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the "Three Banner" punch. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. It was fun to play with larger pieces of the DSP, it's so pretty.  I had gotten a quarter sheet of each design from a friend so I was able to make a couple of cards using them. Fun times with friends.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,
Wanda
